"Out of Office Assistant" versus "Rules Wizard"Outlook 2003 and Exchange Server 2003 Everything I've seen suggests that the "Out of Office Assistant" runs before the rules defined in the "Rules Wizard". I did some testing myself and determined that this appears to be true. I have about 20 rules in the "Rules Wizard" for diverting mailing list messages into various folders. I'd like the "Out of Office Assistant" to generate an auto-reply to anything that is left after that process. Do I need to make a rule in the "Rules Wizard" to do that? Or, do I need to duplicate my mailing list rules from the "Rules Wizard" to the "Out of Office Assistant"? Is there a way to copy the rules from the "Rules Wizard" to the out of office assistant? (Other than copy them by hand.) Thanks! --- tom t**@ytram.com Not possible to use the OOF for that. Create a rule that replies with a
template and put your OOF message in there. Make sure you set some exceptions because unlike the OOF a rule will always reply (not just once) and could create endless mail loops. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more ----- "Tom Allebrandi" <T**@Ytram.Com> wrote in message Outlook 2003 and Exchange Server 2003news:ghko82982d2p2fehej7l0msnhgu28k8rls@4ax.com...

Won't work, if you close Outlook How can I create a rule to have server reply with a specific message, without granting all users with domains or exchange rights?

Actually there is a "Have Server reply with template" rule that should run server-side if I recall correctly. -Ben- Ben M.
